Movement Climbing Yoga and Fitness (Movement) has appointed Anne-Worley Moelter as its new CEO, effective immediately. As the company’s original CEO and co-founder with her husband, Mike Moelter, Anne-Worley Moelter has been a climbing industry veteran for almost 25 years.
The first Movement facility opened in Boulder in 2009, followed by Movement Baker in Denver in 2014 and Movement RiNo, also in Denver, in 2018. Following the company merging the original Movement locations with other climbing gyms, Anne-Worley.Moelter continued her stewardship role as a board member of Movement’s parent company.
Anne-Worley Moelter has reportedly “made it her life mission to expand the sport of climbing to as many people as possible. To that end, she served as USA Climbing’s first Executive Director and has also served on the boards of the International Federation of Sports Climbing (IFSC) and Access Fund, a non-profit rock climbing advocacy group.”
“Like our entire team at Movement, Anne-Worley lives and breathes climbing on a daily basis,” said Movement Board Member Topher Gaylord. “It’s this whole-hearted immersion in the climbing and fitness community that will inform her approach to the climbing, yoga and fitness experiences at our gyms.”
“I am honored to take on the CEO role at such a pivotal time for Movement,” said Anne-Worley Moelter. “Having served on the Board for the last five years, I’m eager to roll up my sleeves and work more closely with this incredible team. Our gyms provide a chance to connect with passionate communities that strive to improve their lives and those of others. I look forward to collaborating with our team members, members and guests to make the Movement experience fulfilling for all stakeholders in our community.”
